1st LD: Nuclear deal quite possible, no need to extend talks: Iranian FM

Xinhua, February 8, 2015 Adjust font size:

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Sunday that it is quite possible to reach a deal over Iran's nuclear issue and there is no need to further extend the nuclear talks between his country and the so-called P5+1 group.

Zarif made the remarks at a debate session of the ongoing 51st Munich Security Conference.

The minister said Iran wants to show the world that its nuclear plan is exclusively peaceful, and stressed that negotiations and respect are the only path toward a deal over the issue.

Sanctions imposed on Iran, he said, also have impact on other countries and will not help solve the problems. Endi
